Everything is moving too fast

I stood up, grabbed a towel to dry my face and said, "I was too shocked." Julie walked over to me and replied, "Well, you're pregnant and you don't know the father. Not like that matters, though, because there are lots of single mothers doing okay." Julie continued, "You need to hide it from your contract husband and boss. " This caused me to feel overwhelmed by the news once more, realizing how much of an issue this would be in regard to the contract, as well as any potential issues concerning my life right now. This is not the right time to get pregnant. "This is not good," I said, rubbing her face. I continued, expressing my worries, "I can't hide a pregnancy for that long. For crying out loud, a pregnancy!" In response, Julie spoke, saying, "Of course, you can hide a pregnancy. I think the baby bump gets very big after the 6th or 7th month...I don't know" I remained quiet as I continued processing the situation and trying to figure out some sort of plan in order to conceal this pregnancy. "You just have to think of a way to break it to your mom," Julie added, causing me to feel even more anxious and stressed. I started, 'I'll hide it from my mom for now. I'm so tired and stressed, everything is moving too fast.' I then added, "I'm headed to bed." Julie offered me a reassuring hug and said "just know that you have me, okay." "Thank you" I whispered, and then went up to my room. I contemplated taking a bath but went against the idea as I was extremely tired." I then grabbed a pain killer from the cabinet and drank it before laying down on the bed without removing my clothing. " As I laid in bed, it took me just a few moments before I fell into a dreamless sleep. I really needed the rest, and as I had been dealing with a lot of stress, I decided to sleep to forget about them for a moment. I most likely felt that a pain killer would help to ease the headache caused by the stress of the pregnancy revelation and my current situation, which is a stressful one to handle. ********************* I woke up, finding my body covered in sweat, my clothes sticking to my body and my hair looking messy. The room was very dark. I searched for my phone in the dark before finding it and turning it on. When I did, I saw that it was 5:34 AM. "I really needed this sleep," I spoke aloud to myself." I then continued, "I need to take a bath," before making my way over to the light switch and turning on the light bulb in the room. I removed my clothes and folded them neatly before putting them into the laundry basket. Afterwards, I entered the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I am a girl with short black hair that was in a state of disarray. My nose was small and my lips were round. My eyes are almond shaped and I have an oval face. I sighed, seeing my disheveled state in the mirror. "I look like a mess," I spoke aloud to no one before grabbing my toothbrush and proceeding to brush my teeth to prepare for my bath. After brushing my teeth and spitting into the sink before rinsing, I went to take a bath. I then dried my body and put on something light and comfortable before returning to the bed. Taking my phone, I replied to all my unread messages on my Instagram account and watched videos on TikTok. This entertained me for some time until I grew sleepier, causing me to eventually place my phone to the side and return to bed so that I could rest, still exhausted by the events that had taken place the previous night. ********** I was woken up as I heard the sound of the door opening, before my nostrils picked up on the aroma of some delicious food. I then turned towards the direction of the door and noticed Julie headed towards the bed with a tray. Upon setting the tray down on a side table, I could see that it was filled with snacks, including pancakes and coffee. Beside them were bowls full of fresh fruit. "You really didn't have to do this," I said to Julie before she simply replied with, "I felt like it," and left the room. I began with the pancakes, enjoying the deliciousness and texture of the food. Julie then entered the room carrying a plate of cupcakes. "I baked these just for my little angel," she said, which made me smile in appreciation. "Thank you, Julie," I replied. Julie put the sweets on the table before replying with these words that made me laugh "It's not you. I'm talking about my angel in your tummy." This caused me to burst out laughing so hard that I almost choked on the food I was eating. "I'm jealous now," I muttered, still laughing. As we were eating, we both heard a knock on the door. 'I'll go and answer it,' Julie said. I simply nodded in response as I continued to eat my remaining cupcakes with enthusiasm. Julie then returned to the room with two boxes in tow, to which she sang, "Guess who's packages arrived!" She then declared, "Mr. Romanov sent your dress," to which I reacted by slapping my hand over my face as I realized I had forgotten all about the upcoming dinner. Julie opened the first box, and brought out a set of beautiful stiletto. It is a gold stilettos decorated with a single crystal accent on the heel. The heels were elegant in their simplicity, with their smooth and curving lines adding to their refined look. The quality of implicity, with their smooth and curving lines adding to their refined look. The quality of the materials was evident not only in their smooth finish and texture, but also in the precise cut and shape, which complimented the length of the leg and the overall sense of elegance they created. I didn't know much about designers but I am sure that these heels were undoubtedly from a designer brand, known for their luxury and elegant touches. "That is so beautiful." Julie sighed as she admired the shoes. "Mr Romanov sure has good taste," she added. Julie was about to open the second box, but I stopped her, stating, "I want it to be like a surprise. I'll open it in the evening." Julie simply replied, "That's fine. I'll just set it on the vanity table. " I then held the heels and continued to admire them, running my fingers across the crystals and taking note of the intricate details and craftsmanship.
